Fiona, I enjoyed reading this. I understand your frustration and your doubt, but you must understand that every word that you put down, not matter what the order or the aesthetic of the form, is a piece of you – and that is everything. We don’t write because we have something to say. No, we write because something that must be said has us to write it. You are a gifted writer who is so authentic that reading your work is like being there talking to you. It is real, and that makes it beautiful. Just write. When you have nothing to write, just write. The words will fall where they may..you are the poet, and you can move the words around, or replace a broken phrase, but the words are truth and sometimes it is best “just to spill them upon the page” and see what happens. I love your writing…don’t doubt yourself. ~ With respect and affection, your fellow poet, Dennis

It is hard to reply and let you know what such a comment means to me. Thank you for such warm encouragement. I think i often over analyse my work so I do try doing writing exercises where i just let the words flow. Thank you again, it honestly means a lot
